Percutaneous Nephrostomy as a Procedure in the Treatment of Urinary Tract Obstruction - Experiences in the University Clinic of Urology in Skopje.

Introduction: Obstructive uropathy encompasses various urinary tract obstructions, leading to changes in urine flow, kidney pressure, and impaired kidney function. Predicting renal recovery from obstructive uropathy, can be challenging and necessitates treatment, as in percutaneous nephrostomy (PNS) drainage. The choice of drainage method depends on patient-specific factors and local expertise.

The Incidence of Lymphovascular and Perineural Invasion and their Impact on Survival in Patients with Rectal Cancer.

: Lymphovascular Invasion (LVI) and Perineural Invasion (PNI) represent undesirable but still realistic pathological features of rectal cancer, associated with poor prognosis and worse survival. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence of LVI and PNI in patients treated for rectal cancer and the impact of LVI and PNI on patient survival. : This retrospective single center observational study, conducted in the period of 2016-2019, includes patients with rectal cancer treated with/without long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT).

Outcome Evaluation of Arthroscopic Resection of Dorsal Wrist Ganglia.

: Arthroscopic ganglionectomy has become an increasingly popular surgical option for dorsal wrist ganglia. The aim of this study was to describe our technique for the arthroscopic treatment of dorsal wrist ganglia and to evaluate the clinical results as well as the recurrence rate in our patients. : In a prospective study, 48 patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment of dorsal ganglion of the wrist were included.

Vitamin D levels and oxidative stress markers in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Background: COVID-19 is characterized by the presence of oxidative stress. Vitamin D status has been reviewed as one of the factors that may affect disease severity. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum vitamin D levels, oxidative stress markers and disease severity in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Outcomes of surgically treated distal radius fractures associated with triangular fibrocartilage complex injury.

Study Design: Prospective cohort.

Introduction: Clinical studies that evaluate the correlation between associated lesions of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) and outcome of distal radius fractures expressed with the patient-rated disability are missing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of distal radius fractures associated with or without an injury of the TFCC.
